Overview
- Jacob Misiorowski worked six innings and allowed one run in Milwaukee’s 4-1 win over Los Angeles, escaping a bases-loaded fifth by striking out Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman.
- The outing occurred Saturday night and reinforced his season-long dominance as he tops major‑league leaderboards in ERA, strikeouts, WHIP and opponents’ batting average.
- Misiorowski’s power fastball averaged about 100 mph this year and he has added a cutter and slider, changes credited with lowering his walk rate and increasing his effectiveness.
- Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski surrendered two two-run homers in the game, a struggle that helped the Brewers maintain a narrow edge in the race for the National League’s best record.
- Misiorowski’s rise traces to a relief breakthrough at Dodger Stadium in last year’s NLCS, and his continued dominance now shapes Cy Young debate and the playoff landscape as the season heads into September.
